About this property

  • 12 Stafford Street is a beautifully presented and recently refurbished three story Georgian main door townhouse set over ground, first and second floors. The property offers bright, spacious and comfortable accommodation which is presented in immaculate order throughout. Having been sensitively modernised throughout, there is a successful blend of contemporary fixtures and fittings with a variety of delightful original period features, including astragal windows, wrought iron balustrades with mahogany banister and delicate cornicing.

    The delightful tiled entrance vestibule opens to the welcoming hallway which provides access to the elegant ground floor accommodation and from where the impressive stone stair rises to the upper floors. The well-proportioned sitting room is situated to the front of the property and has beautiful cornicing and an impressive marble mantelpiece with gas living flame fire. The quite exceptional double vaulted dining kitchen sits to the rear of the house. The units are finished in solid wood with marble worktops. The breakfast bar creates a natural divide between the kitchen and dining area, while there is also sufficient space for a sitting area where there is a stylish log burning stove. It is a particularly bright room with two large skylights and a door to the rear leads down some steps to the back door leading to William Street South East Lane. Also on the ground floor is a cloakroom with WC as well as utility room and useful storage cupboards.

    The delightful stone stair curves up to the first floor. The principal bedroom is situated in the former drawing room and is a particularly fine room with two astragal windows and intricate cornicing. It is generous in proportion and also benefits from a luxurious en suite bathroom as well as a separate dressing room, currently used as a home office. There is a second comfortable double bedroom also on this level as well as a family shower room. Steps rise to a door to the rear of the house which opens to the spectacular west facing roof terrace which is a wonderful place to sit out and enjoy the afternoon sunshine.

    The stair continues to rise to the second floor where there are two further spacious double bedrooms and a further family bathroom.
